We all know that the only constant in life is change, but it is often surprising how quickly we must pivot and re-evaluate what we know to be true.In the words of General Shinseki, former U.S. Army Chief of Staff, “If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.”

What’s most important is how we respond to the shifts, and, when talking about cyber security, how we continue to effectively manage risk in the midst of shifting threats.

The first quarter of 2017 illustrates just how quickly the phishing threat landscape can change with a surge in attacks targeting payment services and 3x growth in attacks targeting SaaS and social networking sites. In addition to shifting targets, phishing threat actors continue to adopt new techniques that make their attacks more convincing.

The data and observations presented in this report are sourced from the continuous work PhishLabs does to fight back against phishing attacks and the threat actors behind them. The information highlighted in this report will help organizations better assess and mitigate the risk posed by modern phishing attacks.
